I thought you might like to see my fair cake this year. This is the 6th. year in a row I've won.

This is my Troll Village cake, taken from Debbie Brown. I don't know why, but the figures got a little droopy sitting in the heat of the fairgrounds for 6 days. So there's one before and after the 'melting'.

She is awesome and does hold classes in some American cities. I'd love to attend one someday as I'm all self-taught.

23. Beautiful! Love the Details

The troll out front has a spiked club, the "bricks" are candies, ohmigosh! The roof tiles! Is that brown sugar sprinkled around the base?

You deserve to be Grand Champion. Congrats!

[sinkingfeeling]

24. Thanks. The cobblestones are fondant, cut by hand, as are the

shingles. That's gold luster dust all around.
